My RF45 Clone didn't even complain while doing it. Some were 1/5 inch Kennametal some were Valenite 1.25 inch. I plan to drill + tap them for studs + knurled nuts for adjustment. tom

Pictures will be forthcoming, I assume?

Sorry ED I didn't take any pics but check the post for an update the endmill was cobalt and the tools were kennametal and the new ones I did were SANDVIC. TOM
